Descriptions
Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.26 and 4.x through 9.0, Thunderbird before 3.1.18 and 5.0 through 9.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.7 do not properly initialize nsChildView data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Ogg Vorbis file.
Mozilla Firefox v3.6.26 y v4.x hasta el v9.0, Thunderbird antes de v3.1.18 y v5.0 hasta la v9.0 y SeaMonkey antes de v2.7 no inicializa correctamente las estructuras de datos nsChildView, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria caida de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de un archivo Ogg Vorbis debidamente manipulado.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the parsing of Ogg Vorbis media files. By crafting a stream with specific values , it is possible to cause a decoding loop that copies memory to write controlled data beyond the end of a fixed size buffer. An attacker can leverage this behavior to gain remote code execution under the context of the current process.
